My biggest fears…

I fear many things. I fear death, although sometimes I want to die. I fear snakes, spiders, but bees and wasps and anything that stings is right up at the top of my list. Have I ever been stung? Nope. But I’m terrified to be stung. I fear not fitting in anywhere in this world. I fear aloneness. I fear rejection. I fear abandonment. I fear the dark. I could go on and on but this is enough I think. It gives the reader a small snapshot into the world of my fears.

Fear’s grip tightens fast

Take hold of my trembling heart

Chills run down my spine

In the darkness, I find peace

Embracing the unknown path

    I had no idea that you feared the dark, Carol Anne but all the rest of your fears seem reasonable to me.

      Yes. I very much fear the dark. I sleep with the lights on. I can see light and dark, like, I can tell when its light or when it is dark. X

        That is good that you have some degree of light perception.

        Yeah, I’m glad I do. I’d be lost in a world of blackness if I didn’t and I don’t imagine that is a nice feeling. X

    Stinging things are scary.

    When I was about 20 (so a long time ago!) I climbed a ladder to the second story of my parent’s house. I was up there to fix an antennae. I reached around the corner and stuck my hand right into a wasps nest! By the time I got down the ladder I had been stung many, many times. It wasn’t fun, but at least I learned that I’m not allergic to wasp stings!

    I hated ladders before then, and I hated them even more since. I avoid ladders unless something just absolutely has to be done.

    Oh my Carol Anne, the more I learn about you, the more I think and feel you are my long lost sister. Literally everything you just described is also every fear of mine as well. It’s so crazy just how much we have in common. I hope one day we would be able to meet face to face. We are Soooo much alike in so many different ways. Besides my own biological sisters, you are the only friend I have found to have so much in common with. 🥰💖 It’s certainly a comforting feeling. I honestly think God meant for us to meet and cross paths. You must be my soul Sister.

    I also must mention how beautifully you expressed your poem. 🥰💕🌹

      thanks Jenn! I, too am so glad we’ve met and crossed paths. we’re blessed, online friends are more important to me, as I don’t have too many in person ones, who I can be myself around.
      Thanks for always being there for us Jenn! Your a star and we all love you!

        You are very welcome Sweetheart. I myself don’t have many in person friends myself. Now a days it seems like they are more online friends than in person friends. Very rarely do I get an in person visit from my friends.

        I have one good in person friend, but since the start of the pandemic we have not visited one another, but we text and call each other which I suppose is just as good

    You made a difficult form look easy!!! And you bared so much about your fears to ‘a receptive, empathetic’ audience. Well done, well done.

    Fear is a draining monster. But having a place to recharge, to pull ourselves together… is a wonderful thing.
